      Culture of Toxicity at Kite Emeryville

      Research associate

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits from Gilead (the parent company)

      Cons

      Led by incompetent senior scientists and managers. A single IND filed in last 7 years while had multiple directors and research programs. Most programs discontinued because of lack of talents leading programs. But wait, the research leads of triaged programs got promoted! Toxic environment driven by nepotism and big mouths are nurtured. While most people are leaving Kite for better opportunities, the failed lot from EV site are still hanging around !

      Pros

      Good benefits package based on Gilead policy. Good policies on the books but not in practice. Sanaa Monica location is nice.

      Cons

      Promotions not aligned with policy. Sexism. Poor retention of talent. Management does mot care about individual on team. Only on meeting their deliverable fir their annual bonus.
